Toronto Chapter
La Salle Day Dinner 2015
Chris Fong (1994)
The Toronto Chapter La Salle Day Dinner has never been short of wine, good food and high spirited laughter. This year the event was
attended by ~100 old boys from pre-war senior old boys to teenagers, a record high.
V.P. Peter Chan (72) presented the President Report on behalf of President Philip Wong (67), who, unfortunately, had to be absent
that evening.
We were delighted to welcome two special guests:

Basil Lim (58), son of late Mr "Tiger" Lim, visiting Toronto for the first time
former teacher Lawrence Leung.
It was also a group farewell for a few young old boys, viz. Patrick Lee (07), Justin Lau (09), Michael Yau (10) and Donald Kwok (15).
Patrick and Justin have been helping out on our functions over the years. We wish them all the best in their future endeavours.
Attending old boys elected 15 directors, who are more than eager to serve the Toronto La Salle community for the coming 24
months.

Obituary
The Edmonton Chapter mourns the loss of its member, Dr. Andrew Lin from the class of 1971, who passed away in Edmonton on
June 6, 2015.
The announcement below, by the Chair of the Department of Medicine at University of Alberta, provides a better understanding of
Andrew’s career achievements and what we have lost.
Rest in peace, Andrew!
Message from the Chair
It is my sad duty to announce that Dr. Andrew Lin, Associate Professor of Medicine in the Division of
Dermatology died on June 6, 2015 at the Cross Cancer Institute. He was a member of our Department
since 1994.
Dr. Lin obtained his M.D. from the University of British Columbia (1978), followed by a Rotating
Internship at the Toronto General Hospital (1978-1979), his Internal Medicine Residency at the
Vancouver General Hospital (1979-1980), Medical Microbiology training at Mount Sinai Hospital &
Sunnybrook Medical Centre (U of Toronto 1980-1981), and the Dermatology Residency at the
Montreal General Hospital (1981 – 1984). He also was a Rockefeller Clinical Scholar at The Rockefeller
Hospital in New York (1985-1988).
Dr. Lin served as Assistant Professor at the Rockefeller University from 1988 – 1994, where he was a
member of the Laboratory for Investigative Dermatology. He then joined the University of Alberta, Department of Medicine as
Associate Professor in the Division of Dermatology in 1994.
As an academic Dermatologist, Dr. Lin published 4 books, maintained an active ambulatory clinic, and excelled as a teacher. The
medical students particularly enjoyed his lectures and learned to listen carefully for his 'puns'. Being an eclectic academic, he
became a discovery-learning tutor in the Gastroenterology block and explained to others that 'it was easy to be a tutor in your own
field, but you should really tutor in another discipline'. But residency teaching was Dr. Lin's forte. He was active in all aspects of the
Dermatology residency program, was a member on the Resident Program Committee, and ensured that the residents were prepared
for their fellowship exams by frequent and rigorous testing. He was the recipient of many teaching awards, among them the Award
for Excellence in Clinical Teaching from the Professional Association of Residents of Alberta and Mentor of the Year Award (Region 1)
from the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons.
To honor this teaching legacy, the Dermatology Residents have established a teaching award in Dr. Lin's name. In a letter to Dr. Lin,
they state: "Your dedication to resident and medical student teaching is unparalleled and in honor of your contributions we plan on
setting up an annual University of Alberta Resident Teaching Award in your name. The award will go to a resident each year who
best exemplifies the traits that you brought to our Dermatology program – namely, a dedication to formal and informal teaching of
residents and medical students."
Andrew was also known for his love of good food, playing the piano (with his own rendition of songs), and viewing life with his love
of puns.
Our condolences to Dr. Lin's family and thanks for his contributions for past and present medical student, residents, and faculty.
